can't you boot from CD #1 (SUSE) and do a repair? I think one of the repair options is to repair the MBR or bootloader. I know it happened to me before.. Additionally, booting from CD1 or DVD using the boot from harddisk option should be able to boot your system since the /boot/grub should still be in tact. You can then run YaST2/System/BootLoader to restore the MBR. -- Jerry Feldman Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9

Now that grub was restored as boot loader I need to add Windows XP (in hda9) to Grub menu. I read some tutorial and articles and they make me understang that typing: title Windows XP hide (hd0,0) unhide (hd0,8) rootnoverify (hd0,8) chainloader +1 makeactive ...would make windows xp to boot, but the following error apears: "Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x7 chainloader +1" I can load windows 98 (in hda1) just with the lines -- I had already tried this for windows xp also: title Windows 98 root (hd0,0) chainloader +1 Any help? a.
